    Didn't post yesterday but it was a low spend day - £1 for burger gaps, £1 each for the children to buy a cute rubber :o
    Unfortunately, no extra payments made but I've got a few payments i'm waiting on so hopefully will do soon.
    Don't plan on spending any money today - dog walking this morning, which I'm thankful that the children still want to do at their ages, lunch at in laws and ironing this afternoon :eek:

    Have a nice relaxing sunday x

    Just received a refund of £9.16. Transferred £5 to savings. Total now £55.
    Been at work all day so all I've spent is car parking money. X

  • Hi there! Have downloaded the ziffit app and will have a play tomorrow with the books left over from the carboot sale!
    Would dearly love to take my girls to Disneyland - maybe next year if I can shift enough debt this year!

    :mad:
    just had an email from ziffit and they have rejected 3 or 4 of my books due to being water damaged??! they are pretty old and have been stored in various places which could have been damp (been in loft for a time and also been in boxes in garage for a while) but never been wet as such. Very frustrating, there is no option of disputing and returning so in essence, I will be paid £9 instead of £20 :(

    Was thinking of going to the 99p shop to stock up on shampoo and other toiletries but have decided Ive got so much to do at home that i will stay home and declare a no spend day :)

    £5 transfered to the florida pot and £5 to the credit card from my ziffit money - better than nothing x

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    That's so annoying! I assume they will send you the books back? £9 is better than nothing though x

    work today - minimal spends. No progress made today - one week until payday, awaiting a refund/compensation cheque, and awaiting cash back. Feel like I need to up my game - too tired now but will give it some thought tomorrow. :(

    I just scanned a really big pregnancy book of mine I no longer need, only 10p! Which books get you the most money? x
    Debt as of 13.05.15= £15,746.80

    Debt as of 01/07/16=£15,826.80

    Paying interest only and getting nowhere 😔
    Time to sort it out. Start (again) of a very long journey 01/07/16

    Hi jl
    Yes I got quite a few books for 14p lol! I had a few textbooks - one got £6 which boosted my total, and a newish hardback John Grisham got over £1. Unfortunately two of the 3 that got rejected one was £6 and one was £3 :(. It's not the best money spinner but I scraped nearly a tenner and I won't miss any of the books that are gone.

    Low spend day yesterday - £15 for a new pillow (very fussy with pillows) and £13 for some bbq items for the evening. It was very warm here and spent the afternoon in the garden and then a lovely bby in the evening.

    Not planning on spending any money at all today, have a family party to go to but present already bought.

    Still waiting for topcashback and a cheque which I was assured would be with me by the end of the week (last week) :mad:

    Have a nice Sunday x

    Worked yesterday and did a massive 30 minutes overtime :rotfl:
    Exhausted today though - it was a busy day.
    Two days until payday. Nothing much else to report unfortunately but I am doing the small things like not spending much money, washing on line etc. I'm being very impatient :o

    yay its pay day :j
    I've paid £200 to tesco cc 1, £50 to tesco cc 2, and £118.69 to barclaycard. That leaves balances of £250 on tesco 1, £4350 to tesco 2, and £4375 to barclaycard. I am planning on having the tesco 1 paid off by payday next month at the latest. If I receive the money that is due to by refund then this will definitely be possible. I am away next week visiting family but when I'm back I will also start some selling.

    Have a good day x
